Over at the OCC the challenge call today is SNOW. Snowflakes, a Winter Scene -- whatever strikes your stamping fancy as long as it incorporates SNOW! Hope you will play along with us! You can find all the details on the Our Creative Corner Blog! The sample cards from the Design Team were FAB for this challenge! So be sure and check them all out, see the links to all the ladies on my sidebar.

Yesterday's card featured snow too, so I thought I would change it up -- and do something with a snowflake theme -- but using no white. I had all these fun papers with teals and greens that had snowflake designs -- so that was the beginning of my card. Maybe this went a bit overboard, but isn't that what happens so often on New Years! So I indulged with embellishments!

I used Martha's Snowflake punch and silver paper, layering two punched pieces and adding a small epoxy snowflake sticker in the center. The small row of snowflakes is a stamp from Impression Obsession and I fussed those up with some teensy tiny teal pearls. More Epoxy Snowflake Stickers to create the center row -- I have had these in my stash for a good while -- I am pretty sure they were in the $1 bin at Mikes. I added my Happy New Year Sentiment, embossed with Versamark and Silver Detail EP. Finishing things off with a five loop bow... I used a silver coated wire to make the bow - allowing the tails to keep some curl. Final card size is 5 1/2" Square.
